The only reason I'm on X is to connect with friends & colleagues in the botanical community. One thing I admire about our community is a shared aversion to bigotry. As such, I cannot support this platform any more. I will be on Bluesky if you need me. @johnjschenk.bsky.social
Did you know that in April 2023, Donrichardsia macroneuron became the first moss species federally listed by the USFWS?
Found in only one small spring in Central Texas, it faces risks from polluted water and likely extremely low genetic diversity

Big shout-out to my lab for their stellar performance at #Botany2023. It has been a great privilege watching you all grow as scientists, I couldn't be prouder!
River weeds can often be found in the wrong part of herbaria because they can look like mosses, liverworts, or even lichens- making documenting ranges of these species an extra challenge for @botAna_Bedoya. #botany2023#GetYourFeetWet
This guy brought me to my first botany meeting 21 years ago! Difficult to measure the impact people have on your life! #Botany2023#Botany2002 @AaronListon
